Correct some dumb behaviour in clnt_broadcast(), where it would

2002-06-30T23:34:58+00:00

give up and return an error if sending to any interface failed. If
an interface that comes early in the list is in a state where all
sends fail, clnt_broadcast() might never get to the interfaces that
matter. Instead, only fail if all sends are unsuccessful.

This is not an MFC; -CURRENT uses the TI-RPC code, which does not
have this bug.

MFC after:	N/A, -CURRENT no longer uses this code
The patch in 1.28.2.1 was in error.  It used FD_ZERO on the fds (fdset)
structure, but this is a dunamically allocated array that is only as
big as it needs to be. The result of calling FD_ZERO on it would be that
it would either overwrite random data in the data-segment, happen to
be just the right size and work correctly, or not zero out all of the
data it was supposed to.  The first case is far more likely (and damaging).

This code has been in extensive testing here.  And was approved by the
release engineers for this last minute push.

MFC: markup and misc fixes.

svctcp_create can't fail at creating a udp socket since it didn't try.
